Many business owners cringe at the prospect of marketing and sales. There is a lot of negativity attached to these areas due to high pressure sales tactics and feeling like you need to be surgically attached to social media 24/7.
I have often heard new business owners say that they don't like sales or don't have time to manage the process. They even go so far as to say that they have no idea how to sell their products and services! Sound familiar?
Then this episode is for you!
In Episode 7 of An Espresso Shot Of Confidence, I speak with the awesome Mark Bangs, a sales coach who helps his clients get clear on what they want to achieve in their businesses and how they can make it happen.
What Mark doesn't know about sales and marketing isn't worth knowing.
During our chat we discuss:
the role of sales in business
how business owners can get past the cringe
how being curious is a powerful tool
the importance of clear objectives
asking the right questions
how to make the sales process more human.
This episode is perfect for any business owner that is struggling to find a sales process that works for them. There are loads of tips and ideas on how you can change your approach today.

Humans don't like change!
It freaks us out! We often kick and scream when we are faced with changes that have the potential to take us out of our comfort zones! And, then the ego kicks in and we find all the reasons to stay stuck and avoid breaking narratives that no longer serve us.
Let's change that today because there is never a better time to make a change.

Over the next 26 minutes, I will discuss:
that the world will not explode if you post on social media or choose to change things up
how I chose to put myself first and my business second this summer

Have you ever paid attention to the language you use in your daily life?
It is estimated that we speak around 7,000 words per day and that is not counting the words that bounce around our heads. These words have the power to inspire us or make us bury our heads in the sand.

Over the next 32 minutes, you will learn:
what words are going into Room 101 for eternity
alternative words and ideas to replace the negative self-talk
